89 gt
New here posted in the introduction section and.....This guy wants to trade me my ride for his and, what I was wondering from all of you mustang fanatics is.. what is a 89 GT 5.0 worth with 70,000 miles on it, bone stock. and needs some floor pan work, some work on the hatch eventually.

one major question, how do you REALLY know its 70k miles? they roll back after 99k, so it could be 170, or possibly 270, so id make sure the guy gets a carfax and then id calculate miles and match them up with carfax. obviously if lets say the 3rd owner has 52,755 miles and then the 4th owner gets it 3 years later and it has 13,344 miles, then its been rolled back. that car if really 70k miles is worth about $3,200, if its been rolled over, id say $2,000 tops.

The trans is a T5 and, this guy is the second owner, the first owner put 62,000 miles on, and this owner has put about 10,000 on it (here say right). The reason I ask such questions is, is am looking to go back to just a street machine, maybe mild strip, nothing faster than 12.5 car if I do. Know dont be biased here but, I have an 85 s10 blazer with a 406 (lots of engine work and trans work no biggie) but the body work puts me back to square one and I hate body work.
Below is a link to what is in the works now. and its been in this state all summer. but like I said would like back off a couple of notches cause this goes from about 0-felony in 3 seconds. and the local track is not going to do the strip no more, jsut the roundy rounds.

Looks like the right fender may have been removed at one time. Check for previous accident. I'm thinking 2000..ish. I agree with the cancer in other areas comment. Does everything work? Looks like it's still R12 refrigerant.

Well I guess the guy is not interested anymore, I gave him my number to contact me to talk about setting a time to deal. I guess he was messing with me. IMHO I think that my blaze is worth a little bit more than the car I was going to go through with it just cause I have always wanted a mustang. Actually when I started the blazer project it was between it and a fox body. Now look where I stand, "next time go with the heart"
